Weekend night Small lot but easy parking Got lucky- last table for 4 Phenomenal hospitality and service Food incredible! Different than the Pines location of the same name If we're in area again we will return!
King Dumpling in Pembroke Pines on University. . Definitely the best dumplings in South Florida. Made fresh on their open kitchen. They have been expanding their menus but I stayed their soup dumplings. I also ordered seafood noodle soup. A great deal for $12. This is a must try and sample their items on their expanded menu.
Good food and fairly quick to come out too. The soup dumplings were pretty good aside from a thicker skin. Brown sugar milk tea was great too with light sugar and boba. Parking was a breeze since they have a lot.
It feels like your usual hole in the wall Asian restaurant (compliment) even though it's somewhat of a regional chain and I gotta say they crushed it. You're greeted as soon as you walk in and the vibe is chill and you immediately know the food is going to be good. The parking lot is full of spaces and I don't think you'll ever run into issues with parking. Ordering is straightforward and the menu is a mix of American-Chinese (with some more chinese-leaning) comfort foods including braised chicken rice, a variety of dumplings (steamed soup, boiled) as well as noodle dishes. Ordered several of the steamed soup dumplings and the Shanghai Style were my favorite. Considering they cost close to $1.50 per dumpling, this is probably the best value soup dumpling I've had in a while (coming from TX). The cold sesame noodles were also good (basic, nothing amazing) and I was blown away by how much chicken the chicken dish actually had (most places are 50% batter, this was like 90% chicken!). The waiter saw me waffling on ordering boba tea in the evening and offered to make it with water. Not the best bang for the buck, but he was super chill about customizing it so I'm grateful he allowed me to have my boba and drink ti too. Will be back next time I'm in North Miami.
Went in to dumpling king on a random afternoon for a snack. I ordered some steamed dumplings and a boba tea. It wasn't too busy, I was quickly attended and they took my order. The service was fast and efficient. The place looks clean and tidy. My order came relatively quickly and was good overall. I was hoping for my dumplings to have a bit more flavor, it regardless I would like to return and try more things off the menu as I am a fan of dumplings ! See you soon
The place is always packed, it doesn't matter what time it is. The place is small snout 12 tables. The staff makes you feel at home. It's like a mom and pa place. Love that they are growing with a new location in Boca Raton. The staff are . Mostly family. Rick is the best. He welcomes you with his smile and energy. He is fast and can serve the whole place by himself. I love the soup dumplings. It's brought out in a dream wood basket and when they open the lid it's steaming. Everything is freshly made and you can taste it. My go to is the beef spicy dip noodle soup served in a spicy broth. The house fried rice and fried dumplings. This is truly a hidden gem and so good and authentic.
Anything less than 5 stars for dumpling king is a disservice to the restaurant. The quality speed and deliciousness of their food is hard to find in North Miami. I consider them one of the best Asian restaurants in the area and the line of people they have every night agrees. The soup dumplings are always a hit but more surprisingly I really also enjoyed their cold sesame noodles. A nice break on a hot day the inside is well curated enough and has plenty of space for a date night for two. Lever parties are going to want to place a reservation before hand.
This is one of my favorite hidden gem, hole-in-the-wall spots. Family-run with warm, welcoming vibes and happy energy 24/7. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Service is attentive, fast, and personable -- you feel like they actually know their regulars. The steamed dumplings are light and perfectly balanced, while the fried dumplings hit with that crisp bite everyone craves. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and it's the kind of place where you can come hungry and leave full and smiling. Definitely a go-to for comfort food done right.
SOUP DUMPLINGS!!! Dumpling King serves legit soup dumplings! I love their friendly service. It's not your first date spot, but take your besties who are foodies!!! I highly recommend this place.
Easy parking. Today walked in and lucked out with quick seating. Tried a few dumplings, the standout was the kimchi pork pan fried ones. Highly recommend. They have some non dumpling dishes too and boba tea for those fans. Place is small. Casual. Only downer is the bathroom could use some love. Other than that, still a fan favorite!
I went in today because it had been almost a year since I had gone and dined. Since I found them six years ago I loved their food and service until today which left me disgusting and disappointing with my meal. They used to have delicious sesame chicken made with real breast meat this was stringy, tough, tasteless dark meat even though I asked twice, and the server lied. The onion pancakes were medicore where this use to be delicious now fried dough with light sprinkles of chives! The soup dumplings which is the main reason why I use to love this place we're drained no soup just dumplings and I pointed it out to the waiter who didn't even care but stood quiet and stared at me, to hand me the bill and see if I was done. This was so disappointing and my food was awful, the shortcuts that are being taken to save money is at the cost of the customer. I'm still traumatized over how bad this meal was and the dumbfounded server who could care less. I hate when an establishment that use to be wonderful slacks and cuts corners with the meal! Yes customers who like your food will notice and this was again awful. Not to mention a server that shows some concerns when you point out that the meal is not good and why!!! If management is reading this you guys need to do better!!!
Dumpling King is a solid 4 stars for me. I ordered the beef soup dumplings and it was pretty good. I think the outside was a little dry but the flavor of the filling was delicious. I didn't try too much, but I think it's a staple in the area. There's also free parking and Asian markets nearby. It would be worth trying while in NMB!
Eh, don't do it. Wasn't thrilled with service, flavor, cleanliness and the boba was stale/ or hard for some reason. They don't use real tea either. . Won't be back.
Reviews are largely positive. People highlight flavorful dumplings, a casual, welcoming atmosphere, and friendly and attentive service.

6/23/23 Review remains the same 5 stars!! I came upon opening, so the place was empty which was great. I was immediately seated and ordered the Honeydew Bubble Tea, 4pc wings (fresh and crispy), Chives, Pork &Shrimp fried dumplings, and Sautéed Pork intestines with Hot pepper (something new to try). I did inquire with the waiter about the spice level of the dish and she explained the cook can accommodate it to level of medium. The ambiance of the restaurant is the same, wall seating bench with tables in between. Not much decor, just simple but the food takes the place of it! read more
The food was hot and delicious. The pineapple fried rice is enough to share. I also had fried chicken dumplings which was hot and tasty. The scallion pancake was my fav has a little sweetness to it. Everyone was super helpful and sweet read more

My goal is to find the best Asian cuisine restaurants in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade County since I moved to the area. This place was a bit disappointing. I have been craving good soup dumplings and I decided to give this place a try for lunch. I even took my coworker here because she hadn't tried this place before. The soup dumpling skin was too thick and the meat flavor was bland. There was some broth in the dumpling, but I did not care for it. I have tried the soup dumplings twice and it was the same each time. Some of the frozen soup dumplings I have tried at the Chinese grocery stores taste better than their soup dumplings. I also tried their lunch menu and the fried chicken wings were a little bit too dry. And the beef noodle soup tasted bland. I can make a beef noodle soup better than the ones they make. The other items on the menu include other dumpling dishes, mala dishes, fried rice, soups, noodle dishes, etc. The service was attentive when I went during lunch and it was not too busy. Some of the staff members spoke Chinese as well. The food is prepared quickly. The restaurant itself isn't big, but there is plenty of seating. Also, there is a good amount of parking in the plaza. You can order take-out here and they accept cash or credit here. This is a quick fix if you have cravings for Chinese food, but it isn't the best I have had. But for Southeast Florida, this is considered decent. read more
Bow down before the Dumpling King! I came in here after a weekend trip to Miami and was not disappointed. The general tso chicken was very flavorful not over fried, well prepared. It was spicy and filling. 5* The soup dumplings were perfectly cooked, flavorful and tender 5* The beef noodle soup was another top notch hit. Tasty broth, tender strips of beef, and what looked like homemade noodles. Boba was priced right and tasty! Not overly sweet. read more
We visited this restaurant randomly after church. It had 4.5 stars and so I was eager to try it. It did not disappoint, and what was even more surprising was the price of all the food on the menu. It was so affordable the dishes are large and big enough for sharing. The service was fast and friendly. This is one of those no fluff type Asian spots just good food, good people, and good prices. read more

Tucked away in an unassuming shopping center a little off the beaten path in North Miami is some of the best dumplings in town!! My favorite are the pork steamed dumplings. Their dumplings are made to order! Also highly recommend the General Tso chicken. You can ask the staff for which ever level of spice you prefer. Also, don't forgo their large selection of iced boba tea! read more

Stopped by this place on the way to an asian grocery store and almost cried (partially from the spicy-ness and partially from how happy I was to find a good asian restaurant within 20 mins of Brickell that is actually affordable). Crab and pork soup dumplings: bigger than typical ones, could have had more soup inside for the size but still good Spicy beef dip soup: LOVED this. I've been searching desperately for a place with good, authentic spicy chinese food within a short drive from Brickell. Service and ambiance was like a typical mom and pop shop. Did not feel tables were cramped. Wish there were more authentic, affordable places like this, especially near downtown Miami. Will definitely be coming back whenever I'm in the area! read more

First things first, the outside of this place looks very unassuming. That being said, once you get inside the place is great. Not too much seating or space but I've never had to wait in a line at this place. It is sort of a hidden gem which I appreciate! Now for the service, the workers were very attentive and respectful, so full marks for that. For the best part, the food, it was pretty awesome because you get good portion sizes for the price, I think it was a great deal, especially comparing to other places in Miami. The food tasted great and pretty authentic in my opinion. 5/5 Overall. read more
All hail the Dumpling King. Without a doubt, the best soup dumpling and fried dumpling I have eaten in the United States. I have spent a lot of time in Hong Kong and would say that Dumpling King is equal to or better than anything I had there. Everything came out quickly and was incredible hot. I was shocked how hot the soup dumplings were. That tells me they were rushed to our table. Do come here. It is funny that it is next door to a Burger King. Clearly no relation. read more

Back Again! This time we had the vegetable fried rice and the Shanghai soup dumplings. THE BEST FRIED RICE AROUND! I've never had broccoli in it before. It added a much needed crunch to the rice. I will continue to come back and try new stuff ! read more

Dumpling King is one of the best Chinese places in Miami (in food only category). I have been coming here for 10+ years, and drive all the way from Brickell for excellent Chinese. I have to highlight their Shanghai Soup Dumplings - I'd say top 1 reason for my frequent visits, must try if you stop by. They have had some service issues in the past which I "yelped" about but that got addressed. P.s. there is no ambiance whatsoever, you do not come here to see and be seen. Food only! (And no alcohol as far as I know). read more
This is the best dumplings in South Florida hands-down. You can tell that all the dumplings are handmade. Not only are the dumplings good but you should also try the soup and noodle dishes. Every time I come here I am not disappointed. The food is also so reasonably priced. Oh and don't forget a boba at the end of the your meal. The bobas are so good with many flavors to choose from. Definitely coming back thank you for the delicious food! read more
If you want authentic, flavorful Chinese food, this is the place to go! I've been eyeing Dumpling King for a while, and finally got the chance to stop by on a Saturday evening. The restaurant is pretty small, so there was about a 15 - 20 minute wait for my party of two. Meanwhile, they had continuous customers entering to pick up to go orders. Their soup dumplings are a MUST; usually these are super hard to come by! The portion sizes are also huge for the price; a plate of dumplings could easily fill you up, even though it might be considered as an appetizer. I ordered their scallion pancake, which was decent, but super crispy! We also got their beef tendon noodle soup; the aroma was to die for -- you could literally taste the depth of all the spices in one sip. I cannot wait to come back and try other options on their menu! read more
We were in town for Miami open and stayed in a hotel nearby! We checked out this place! The soup dumplings are very good. The wrappings are a little thicker than what I used to back in Shanghai! However they are yummy and tasty! Also ordered pork dumplings, they are good to but I am too full to finish them! My husband got pineapple fried rice with shrimp! The shrimps are so big! Also we got scallion pancakes, it is tasty! The dipping sauce is a little spicy! I also have almond milk tea with boba! Very strong almond favor so yummy, just enough sweet but not too much! read more

This is a casual restaurant. The menus both in Chinese and English. It's a serves some traditional Asian dishes. I ordered the chicken and pork fried rice. It came with eggs. I was so happy see eggs. It seems most Chinese restaurants I ordered leave them out. This made may day. The rice was good. It tasted fried. I love that. Other places give you teamed. There is nothing like the taste of fried rice. I came with a family member that speak Chinese. I don't know the name of the dumplings he ordered. It tasted good. That is all I can say. read more
Stopped by on a Friday evening with my family; it was busy inside with every table filled, so we waited around 15 minutes before getting seated. We only ordered a few different things off the menu since we weren't too hungry - egg drop soup, fried pork dumplings, 4 pc fried chicken, steamed soup dumplings, and sour/spicy noodles. The dumplings were tasty and the fried dumplings were huge - a great portion size. The egg drop soup was a bit too salty, but was a decent portion size for the cost. Soup dumplings were steamed well, but was lacking a little in the soup inside. Fried chicken was hot and juicy. The food was a bit pricey, but for the size of what you get I'd say it's pretty worth it! Overall, we all enjoyed our experience at Dumpling King and would probably come back again if we're in town for the giant fried dumplings. read more
I know the maximum of the Yelp star scale is 5 but I'm gonna be a rebel and give it a 10 out of 10. Why have I been sleeping on this hidden gem for so long?? I pass this place way too many times but better late than never. The menu has so many great options but since I was rolling solo I opted for the hot and sour soup, chive, pork, and shrimp friend dumplings and a passion green boba tea to wash it down. The tea is sweet but not overwhelming to where you'd need to water it down. To me, it is just right. Good hot and sour soup is hard to find but this exceeded all expectations. It comes out piping hot so I waited to indulge. Every spoonful has the perfect kick of spice and I think it's a good starter if you aren't that hungry because it's very filling. I will definitely be ordering that again. Fair warning, the dumplings are GINORMOUS!!! I was so shocked when she brought the plate to me that I said "what!" out loud and a few people chuckled. These are definitely sharing portions or to take to the rest to go. I even asked if they had a half portion and they said no. The flavor of the chive pork and shrimp is great and you can tell they're making them fresh. The top part of the dumpling dough melts in your mouth but my favorite is the crispy bottom. Ah it's so delicious! Although I was able to get seated right away, I do like that you can opt to wait in line on Yelp just in case the seating is full. This isn't a super fancy place so come as you are or super chill. You'll get good service, it is fairly priced and your tastebuds will be delighted. read more

Tried out the Rockledge location tonight while visiting family! We got the chicken and beef fried dumplings, spring rolls (which we could not order online so we had to order when we picked up), and the scallion cakes. Can't wait to visit again! Didn't think to take a photo because we were too busy eating! So yummy! read more
This has become one of my new favorite restaurants, you can't beat the taste and the value that you get from this establishment. Ever since I moved close to this neighborhood, I've been seeing dumpling King pop up on my feed. I'm more of a General Tao's and lo mein girl, not that I have anything against dumplings it's just not my go-to. That being said it took me a while to actually visit the establishment. The first time I went I got there honey chicken, which was okay but I'm not mad at that because it is not one of the dishes they're known for. A while later I returned and actually got some dumplings and I'm very glad I did. I got the chive, pork and shrimp steam dumplings; very good flavor and great chew on the dumpling wrapper (you have to ask for chili oil). I also tried the green onion pancake which was not the best I have had but was nice. And on my last visit I tried the fried chicken wings which were noticeably fresh. They also have boba, I'm not a big boba of person but every once in a while I do crave it. Their boba goes for about $5 which is an incredible deal, but keep in mind they do not have the popping boba. I really appreciate the fact that they have a varied menu but it is not at all overwhelming. The establishment itself is pretty simple, the few times I've walked in there for takeout I've had no desire to sit in for a meal. I have definitely turned into a repeat customer and I would recommend this establishment to anyone who simply likes food. read more
I had their popular xiao long baos and I hate to say it, it was not that good.. I might have gotten a bad batch but they just weren't that good. Scallion pancakes were delicious. The cold noodles - were also okay. It did take a bit for the food to come out. I ordered a boba tea to-go and it's like, a simple drink to make and it took them awhile.. I'm not sure if it's because they were backed up from take out orders but inside dining was not that busy. Now, I Would go back and give it another try and order something different cause they had a lot of other interesting items. read more

Went here after spending the day at Haulover based off of a friend's recommendation. The place is a bit small, but they were continuously shuttling people in and out, which only speaks to how amazing the food is. We were absolutely shocked at how large the dumplings were and how many we got. HUGE portions. The soup dumplings were phenomenal and are now going to be my good to sick food. The kimchi dumplings were definitely my favorite but a little too spicy for my partner, so be warned! They have a nice little kick. 10/10 would recommend and definitely go there again. I can't wait until they open the Coral Springs location near home! read more

Ask the Community - Dumpling King
They are now open for dine-in. Are the tables well - spaced for distancing?
The tables are just like they were before Covid. Not spaced apart.
Do you make gluten free (gf) dumplings or gf dinner options?
They do not! But there are many other options of food like fried rice, soups, and teas!
Are they open during COVID? I have been calling for weeks?
I'm not sure , I went on the website and it seems like they are, but if your calling and no ones answering you would probably have to drive by and check.
Do they have any gluten free items?
I didn't see anything posted stating that... Sorry
